  "account": "The Detroit Tigers have made it clear they would not pay Tarik Skubal $32 million when he becomes a free agent in 2027, after a historic arbitration case in 2025. Skubal, two-time Cy Young winner, could set new records for a pitcher with a contract. The Tigers offered $19 million in 2026, but Skubal won and earned $32 million. Detroit traded him to the Dodgers before the season, and while they hope to be involved in negotiations, it's unlikely Skubal would return for less money. The Tigers will likely move forward without Skubal, as their rotation already features Framber Valdez with a $38.3 million AAV.",
  "summary": "Detroit may have parted ways with its star left-hander at the deadline, but Skubal hasn't ruled out the chances of a return.",
